Ah! The dirt bike mod... always fun welcome! Youll get the off road itch soon enough... trust me.. I did! haha

 

Yeah, I go as time permits. I went on the cookie run a couple of weeks ago, and was out yesterday trying to chronograph my handloads, but couldn't because of falling snow, so I wheeled a bit out by Cabezone Road. No sliders or lift, so I keep it a little mellower than some of the guys.

 

i have [2] 2" spacers that i can sell you. you have my # so hit me up if your interested

thats crazy! thats an average of 1,700 miles every year. shes just a baby

and i know of a pre-runner that now has 4x4 and is on 37" tires.......

 

Welcome!!

Such a gay build! ^^^^

Welcome all the new members!!!!

 

Does it make shifting smoother or what?

 

Sgttaco's work for my gauge cluster. White background with red needles. He does awesome work!! I highly recommend this mod. I love it!

 

I tried some used Pro-Comp mud tires in 265/75-16 to see if they'd fit on my non-lifted truck; they did fit, but they were load range E, and too stiff for my light reg cab 2.7 truck.

I shoot .22 LR, 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 Auto, .38 Special & .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, .44 Special & .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .454 Casull Super Magnum, .308 Win, 7.62 x 39, 7.62 x 54R, 45-70 and 12-Gauge. I hand load for most of these, & chronograph all my loads.

How about you?

Sounds like you & I might have fun doing some mild wheeling & exploration some time.

 

I was having trouble shifting into 4th. I ordered the new parts & installed them (with help from Tony), but the actual cause of the shifting trouble was that the shifter lower ball area was filled up with sand & gravel.

Now I know to open that up now & then & clean it out.

 

Finally... found my signature GIF.

 

That's mesmerising, Tony!

 

Hopefully, Tony will poast moar now.

 

So I have a week off from school and decided on fixing some small things on my truck. The first thing i did was replace the old crusty foam tabs in the drink holder. I replaced them with 1/8th inch rubber gasket material. I'm thinking about cutting out circles of it to line the bottom of my cup holders. I hate when shit gets stuck to the bottom and I feel like it would be way easier to pull out the rubber bottoms and just wash them off in the sink.

I still have plenty of material left if any of you guys want to replace the tabs in your 1st gen tacomas.

 

And... now it's gone.. Jeesh these moderators are on top of stuff.

I got a "warning" it might be removed if reported... so I just deleted it instead.

 

are those all yours pigger?!

 

I wanted to see it! lol pm the link?!

 

I too am ready to replace mine. Are you looking to sell the material? or ?

 

Yup!

I had to stop buying guns when I got divorced, or I'd have more.

We should organise a shoot meet when it gets warmer out. I have plenty of ammo; enough to share.
